PythonExpress for school students
by vijay kumar May 5, 2017

May 5, 2017

Hi All, During PyCon India 2016 open space, we discussed about conducting workshops for school students. Teaching school students might be a bit challenging as they have minimal knowledge on programming. Real time and visual results will excite them to learn programming language and try things on their own. We can conduct python workshops with the help of low cost single board computers like Raspberry Pi, Arduino, ExpEYES or something similar to it which will be helpful in teaching and also make the students understand. Since the cost of these single board computers are less, its affordable for students to buy on their own to pursue it further. I would request everyone to share your thoughts on the same and help in building the workshop topics and content for school students. Thanks, Vijay

Concern regarding PyCon India 2016 sponsors
by vijay kumar Nov. 29, 2016

Nov. 29, 2016

Hi, I think PyCon India 2016 did not facilitate sponsors with everything we promised. We did not share contact point app with them to collect participants info but the participant badges were printed with the barcode. I have no idea why we really spent time and money on barcodes when contact point app was not planned to be shared. One of the sponsors raised this concern recently and the sponsorship co-ordinator mentioned today that it was not shared because the app was not ready. We should have at least informed the sponsors about this or used the last year's app and told them to not get the device with latest android version since our app was not up-to-date. Another point to be noted is that we had not communicated sponsors about the pamphlets they can share with us to include in swag kit. Am really concerned how sponsors took this and how would they react. It took us good enough time and effort to reach the point we are now with PyCon India and handling them this way affects PyCon India. There were a lot of inconveniences caused w.r.t the venue and stuff to the participants but all that can be fixed in next PyCon India. But upsetting sponsors is not the right thing as we represent Python India Community(PyCon India). Am not here to criticize the efforts put this year, I just want to let the next year PyCon India team know that we have to be precautionary handling sponsors as they are our pillars. Please plan things well. With Thanks Vijay

Thank you for promoting non-democratic working of communities. May the community flourish. Apologies for trying to get some transparency in the works of a community. I just lost respect for a lot of people. Anybody who wants to take over the Python Pune mailing list, twitter account and IRC Account let me know I shall hand over all passwords. Feel free to run the community in your own terms and conditions.
